5000 Series Pop Can Pull Tab Production Aluminum Alloy 5182 Coil
5182 dominates pull-tab production due to its optimal balance of strength, formability, and
corrosion resistance, with specifications fine-tuned for high-speed production.
Main Characteristics of 5182 Aluminum Alloy
• Alloy Type: Al-Mg (aluminum-magnesium)
• Series: 5xxx series (non-heat-treatable)
• Density: ~2.68 g/cm³
• Excellent corrosion resistance – especially to moisture, acids, and salt
• Good cold workability – ideal for stamping and deep drawing
• Moderate-to-high strength – significantly stronger than typical can body alloys (3004/3104)
• Non-heat-treatable – strengthened through strain hardening instead of heat treatment
• Good weldability and recyclability
Temper Used for Pull Tabs
♦ 5182-H19 H19 = Full hard temper
Achieved by cold working to the maximum strength level
Delivers maximum rigidity and springback, which is essential for functional, durable pull tabs
Excellent for high-speed stamping without cracking or deformation
Performance Advantages
✅ High strength
Withstands the force of finger pull without tearing or deforming
Provides a secure mechanical interface with the scored lid
✅ Excellent formability
Ideal for precision stamping and forming of complex tab shapes
Ensures dimensional stability in mass production
✅ Good corrosion resistance
Essential for beverages with acidic content or long shelf life
Prevents tab degradation during storage or transport
✅ Lightweight and recyclable
Supports weight reduction in packaging
Enhances can recycling efficiency and sustainability
Aluminum Alloy Used For Beverage Cans
| Component | Typical Alloy | Temper | Typical Thickness (mm) | Key Properties |
| Can Body | 3004 / 3104 | H19 | 0.24 – 0.29 | Good formability, moderate strength, excellent drawability |
| Can End (Lid) | 5042 / 5182 | H48 / H19 | 0.20 – 0.28 | Higher strength than body, good pressure resistance for carbonation |
| Pull Tab | 5182 | H19 | 0.25 – 0.32 | Very high strength, excellent formability, corrosion resistance |
